Guanacastal Airport

While not officially documented, the evidence strongly suggests the closure was for economic and land-use reasons. The gradual repurposing of the airstrip into cultivated fields indicates the owner found the land more valuable for agriculture than for maintaining a private airfield. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident or military conversion.

The site of the former airport has been completely repurposed for agricultural use. Satellite imagery shows the land where the runway once existed is now divided into plots and actively farmed. The faint outline of the runway is still visible as a scar on the landscape, but no airport infrastructure, such as hangars, terminals, or markings, remains.

Guanacastal Airport was a small, private airstrip (aeródromo) with a single unpaved runway. Its operations were limited to general aviation. Given its rural location in the agricultural municipality of Canchias, it was most likely used for private transportation by local farm or business owners and potentially for agricultural aviation (e.g., crop dusting). It never handled commercial, scheduled, or significant military traffic, and its historical importance was minimal and confined to the local area.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Guanacastal Airport. The land is now privately owned and fully integrated into the surrounding farmland. The development of larger, modern airports in Honduras, including the nearby Palmerola International Airport (MHSC), makes the revival of a small, remote dirt strip like this economically unviable and highly improbable.
